Molex Board-in Connectors are available in vertical and right-angle variants with 1.25mm, 2.00mm, 2.50mm, and 4.00mm pitch. These connectors are ideal for simple and permanent connections and provide mating configurations and circuit sizes with more secure reliability than hand-soldering. The Board-in connectors provide space and cost-saving compared to the two-piece connection system and accept standard through-hole soldering methods. These connectors protect the terminal and function as wire alignment and retention devices. The Board-in connectors operate from 125V to 250V voltage rating and 1.0A to 4.0A current rating. Typical applications include patient monitors, infotainment, refrigerator, factory machines, and downlights.

If perfection is achieved when there is nothing left to take away, then let me introduce you to the perfect connector for automotive and industrial applications. Molex 2.5 millimeter Board-in connectors are a one-piece connector that is soldered directly to the PCB to make a cost effective, space-saving and reliable connection. Housings are available with 2 to 6 positions on a 2.5 millimeter pitch and can be assembled with vertical or right-angle crimp terminals for application flexibility.
The connectors feature an improved terminal pin position that makes assembly more efficient and they’re designed to accept wires made to automotive specifications. Molex 2.5 millimeter Board-in connectors are rated for up to 125 volts and 3 amps and for operation at up to 125 degrees Celsius.
